“At this stage of the season, tough decisions need to be made.

Hauraki added: “As soon as I got the phone call to start training with Widnes Vikings, I was really excited to join in with the boys. I already know a lot of the Vikings squad, like Aaron Heremaia, which makes the transition to a new team a lot easier.
